TABLE OF CONTENTS

ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECTION (ERS)
• The Electronic Range Select (ERS) featureallows you to select the desired top gear.
For example, if you shift the transmission
into third gear, the transmission will never
shift above third gear, but can shift down to
second or first gear automatically when
needed.
• To shift from DRIVE mode to ERS mode, move the shift lever to the left (-) once. The
current gear will be maintained as the top
gear. To disable ERS, simply press and hold
the shift lever to the right (+) until “D” is
displayed in the instrument cluster
odometer.
• Switching from ERS to DRIVE can be done at any vehicle speed.
MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROLS
